Sharing is caring!

This healthier almond flour banana bread recipe is so tasty! It's gluten-free and refined sugar free.

Banana bread is one of the best snacks and this loaf makes for a perfect afternoon snack with a cup of tea. You can serve it with some yogurt or some fruit for a delicious breakfast as well!

I highly recommend using really ripe bananas for this recipe - they should be speckled and spotted, this will make for a sweeter bread and great banana flavor!

Because this bread has very little added sugar, the overripe bananas make up most of the sweetness in this recipe.
